Arial, Lucida Console, and Courier New are the most legible to me.
If find the defaults in MS-Office to be horrible for readability.

I am waiting (in dread) for the day that our robot masters tell me it is time to assimilate or be terminated.

Many people are there already. Slaves to their cell phones, tvs, etc.

For a minute I was impressed, until I realised it's just too good to be true. They can't have advanced robots this far yet otherwise we would have seen plenty of videos even just getting some of this stuff to work. It pretty good CGI though... until the dog 
Kind of disappointed and relieved at the same time. It would be a great advancement in technology, but undoubtedly will be used for the wrong reasons when it does happen.

Yep, they can do a lot of stuff with CGI these days.

The video says "Bosstown Dynamics".
Two things:
1. The video is fake, or
2. They have changed their name to Bosstown.

Saariselka - Horizons[^]
The Ground Our Sky is the debut album of Saariselka, which was album of the day on Bandcamp last week.
It's a "sonic collaboration" of two Oakland, CA composers Marielle Jakobsons and Chuck Johnson.
From their Bandcamp page: "Saariselka is inspired by the meeting of earth and light, where slowly moving land masses merge with enveloping light fields."
It's ambient music which is great to doze off and probably also to work to (and best when you doze off at work).
This is, without a doubt, one of the most relaxed tracks that ever featured SOTW.
So enjoy and relax and set your alarm at five so you're not late for the weekend

I would not listen to this while working, but would listen for sure, while decompressing at the end of a long day.
Nice.
I detected a couple of chords around the 2:00/2:30 spot, that reminded me of steel guitars playing country music, although it is clearly NOT country music. Interesting.

You've got some great hearing.
They do have a steel guitar and this is from their Bandcamp page: "a kind of new ambient Americana is unearthed and explored"

This is nice as an ambient break ... yet another band to follow
And I have some great news because the latest Lacuna Coil is really beautiful
Lacuna Coil - Black Anima (2019) - YouTube
Ages ago I bought their album ... and I was a bit disappointed, so I did not pay attention anymore,
but this ... is different

Lacuna Coil has never been my thing although I must confess the new singles from this new album sound great.
Their only song I come back to from time to time is Lacuna Coil - Cold Heritage - YouTube[^].
I'll give this new album a chance.

Yeah... well, I may not be able to set the theme, but I can certainly try to guide it down a nice path.
Hopefully more people will try to play this time, was a bit quiet last.
